48724 divided by 56 
Our goal is to divide 48724 by 56.

Moving on to step 1:
56 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
56 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
56 goes into 487 8 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 448 from 487.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 392 / 56

Step 4:
If we divide 392 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87.0
If we take 392 away from 392, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 56

Step 5:
56 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 870.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 40 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 870.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
56 goes into 400 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 870.07
Deduct 392 from 400 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 870.071
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 870.0714
Subtract 224 from 240 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 870.07142
Deduct 112 from 160 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 870.071428
If we subtract 448 from 480, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 870.0714285
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 56, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 870.07142857
If we subtract 392 from 400, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 870.07142857, and the remainder is 8e-09.
